The American College of Pediatricians just called out other major medical associations to stop pushing transgender medicine on children and adolescents.
The ACP issued a video statement yesterday and in it they affirmed that sex is a “dimorphic, innate trait defined in relation to an organism’s biological role in reproduction, male and female.”

Here’s the full text of the tweet, which gets cut off in embeds.
The American College of Pediatricians just put out a 🔥🔥🔥 statement calling out all the major medical associations by name for pushing the gender transition craze on kids.
They ask for these groups to “IMMEDIATELY stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex.”
The full @ACPeds statement ⬇️
“Therefore, given the recent research and the revelations of the harmful approach advocated by WPATH and its followers in the United States, we, the undersigned, call upon the medical professional organizations of the United States, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Endocrine Society, the Pediatric Endocrine Society, American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry to follow the science and their European professional colleagues and immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones and surgeries for children and adolescents who experience distress over their biological sex. Instead, these organizations should recommend comprehensive evaluations and therapies aimed at identifying and addressing underlying psychological co-morbidities and neurodiversity that often predispose to and accompany gender dysphoria. We also encourage the physicians who are members of these professional organizations to contact their leadership and urge them to adhere to the evidence-based research now available.”
Several groups spoke at the presser, the video above includes the full opening remarks and the spox for another of the groups who are in the coalition, which is called Doctors Protecting Children.
Massive kudos to the American College of Pediatricians and the hundreds of doctors who support this call to stop pushing this transgender garbage on children of all ages. It’s ruining their lives and causing some of them to commit suicide. It has to end.
Note: Post has been updated to include longer video with more of the statement.
